I love popcorn as plain as it can get, but I often crave something a little more on the exciting side, so I decided to have some fun and kick it up a notch!
In front we have a Dark Chocolate and Orange Popcorn, next to that we have a Cheddar Popcorn, then a Garlic Rosemary and Parmesan Popcorn then a Cool Ranch Dorito Popcorn and, lastly, a Salted Caramel Popcorn. It may not sound like it, but all of these are completely vegan and gluten-free!
I truly can’t decide which is my favorite. The Cool Ranch Dorito and the Cheddar Popcorn are pretty amazing – the flavors are spot on! The Garlic Rosemary & Parmesan is seriously addicting and the Dark Chocolate & Orange and the Salted Caramel Popcorn are drool-worthy.
They’re all full of flavor, yet light on the tummy and they come together in minutes and are made with natural wholesome ingredients. So get snackin’!

Recipe Notes
Notes: All of these popcorns are best fresh. They go get soggy after too long so if you want to prep ahead, wait to add butter or oil to the popcorn until you’re ready to serve!
